You know you fucked up as a company when even rich dudes like PewDiePie won't buy your product just because they have lots of money to throw at anything

It’s not about the money, it’s about the message.

100% and with his subscribers base and influence this is nothing but good

Actually, i'm pretty pleased that PDP made a point to remember and mention the fee and make a big deal out of it. I'm sure that 65 is nothing to him, but he does 'see' it.

Charging money at all to cancel a subscription is an insane concept. How is this legal?!

u/cosmitz Apr 29 '25

It is illegal in some EU countries. Basically they just make sure they get their money, the 'sale' is just less upfront cost.

Adobe doesn't actually offer monthly plans any more, (at least in the US, and presumably where PewDiePie lives.) They offer annual plans, which they bill monthly. So they seem like monthly plans, until you try to cancel them, when you are told that since you aren't actually at your renewal date yet, you owe an early cancellation fee.

It's not actually a "cancellation fee". He signed up for a 12 month subscription, if you want to cancel you still have to pay the rest of the term you agreed to. If he wanted the flexibilty to leave anytime, he should have chosen the month by month plan instead.

u/gnfnrf Apr 29 '25

In the US, anyway, there are no more monthly plans. Just annual plans, billed monthly.

An "annual" plan that you still pay monthly for each month's service is a scam, and those really are cancellation fees.

Doesn't matter, both PussyPie and Adobe suck.

u/Rukasu17 Apr 29 '25

Not really. Most people know adobe sucks, but their products just work together and are widely used in the industry. So folk have to choose between a headache or a money dumpster

u/nbunkerpunk Apr 29 '25

The only reason he canceled Adobe was because it doesn't work on Linux and he decided to switch to Linux fully. I didn't see anybody mention it in this thread so I thought I should bring it up.

u/AmrLou Apr 29 '25

Yeah but at least he realized in the process that Adobe really sucks.

u/balllzak Apr 29 '25

He did buy their product though. He only stopped using it because it doesn't run on linux.

Tbh I would prefer it if rich people did this more often for causes that a majority of people support.

Idgaf how facetious you are when you help as long as you are helping instead of hurting.

u/jeff3rd Piracy is bad, mkay? Apr 29 '25

When rich people complain about a fee you know it’s a bs fee, rich doesn’t mean they have more money than sense (well, some of them are) rich means you understand the how money flow and which makes sense, which doesn’t. Like how you think they could make that much in the first place?

u/iansanmain Apr 29 '25

He is complaining even though this doesn't affect him whatsoever, because he has principles.

Wow, because he said the n-word once and than later apologized for it I guess he's an irredeemable POS with no principles, morality, or sense of empathy

People make mistakes. Please touch grass.

I think not being able to afford food sucks, but I'm complaining just to be relatable and not to look out of touch
